If you want something a bit more strategic resistant, Reynaud(Margins)
might be a good step up. I was thinking about this recently in relation
to the recent Approval 'Elimination' Condorcet thread and the Reynaud
thread. Chris Benham mentioned it in passing in the recent Reynaud thread.
If I got it right, the method can be summarised as "While there is no
Condorcet Winner, eliminate the candidate with the worst MinMax(Margins)
'score'". I don't know whether this method is monotonic or not.
I get the feeling that Reynaud(Margins) is going to be the best you're
going to get with regards to a reasonable strategic resistant Margins
Pairwise method.
Thanks,
Gervase.
